Another One Meeting With Chavez ?????



Recommended Posts

Hey there,

This is the first time I've started a thread here on Rants...., but I'm so mad that I decided to let it out... I had to vent....First Sean Penn, now Kevin Spacey meeting with Chavez.....there are so many better causes for actors to embrace. I don't understand how these radical liberal actors gravitate toward dictators and bad mouth America. You don't have to be a flag waving patriot, neither being a republican, nor a Democract has to do with anything here, it's about recognizing that Chavez, Castro and a few others that we already know who they are...., are indeed our enemies and they hate America & Americans and they procalim it. Period! Why don't they do a little homework about these dictators before they get involved or side with them?? Are they that stupid and ignorant? Really, these actors could show a little class and stop doing the "Fonda".

Go save Darfur, the Rain Forest, the artic, historical sites or something radically liberal and mainstream. Oh wait, can radically liberal and mainstream be used in the same sentence? 50_50.gif It's a good thing Stalin isn't around anymore... now that would be a Hollywood Party! What do you think?

Have a good one!

Elena

I really don't care, to be honest. Hell, I'd probably go meet him. too. Whatever you may think about him, he'd be an incredibly interesting person to interview and do a little "mind-picking," just for the sake of doing it.

Yeah, LOL! I'm sure he is a really incredibly interesting person. If you ever meet him, you may want to ask him why is he taking over the private industry? do you think he may be a communist? hhhhhhhhmmmmm I don't know. Otherwise, why would he be taking away people's properties? things that people have worked so hard their entire lives for? I wonder...I'm sure he has a very valid reason to do that among other great things he is doing.....he's not a bad guy, he is just misunderstood and incredibly interesting! I don't know why it just doesn't do it for me....you know, the picking his mind thing........ silly me

Look, whatever you may think, it's an interesting situation from a psychological standpoint. Wouldn't you ever want to have the opportunity to go up to historical figures and figure out their reasoning, ask them why they do things, get their outlook on certain things? It doesn't mean that you AGREE with them, for Pete's sake. It just means that you are curious. Seriously, consider it like watching a documentary. You don't watch documentaries on the Holocaust because you actually ENJOY seeing people massacred, burned in ovens, gassed. You do it because it's a learning experience.

Honestly, I think some of these Hollywood people are so used to the adulation and the fame and of course the money that they actually believe they are so smart and important....when in fact most of them have merely a high school diploma.... and they feel that their opinion matters, which at least it doesn't to me! they are so ouf of it as far as living in the real world........ yet, they think they know it all.....in my opinion, a lot of them are so fool and by siding with Chavez or Castro, they are letting the world know how ignorant they are, because if they really knew who these are, they wouldn't even get close to them...

I honestly think they DO know thety are not going to acomplish anything by meeting them.... but they have nothing better to do with their time and also a little extra publicity, even if it's bad publicity...

LOL! I have to laugh again, of course I'm not curious! I was born in Cuba in 1962, just 3 years after Castro took over and lived there for 14 years, I know exactly what Castro's and Chavez's reasoning is, who are by the way exactly the same.... Chavez being tutored by Castro... they are both power hungry totalitarian dictators and I know how people like them think, I don't need to meet them or interview them to know it.....and Chavez a historical figure? funny again! in my opinion he is nothing more than a monkey that can't even express himself correctly. It's actually embarrassing to hear him talking.... I often wonder if he even has any kind of education...if he does, I wonder where he got it....

No, no curiosity here about Chavez...! I'm curious about real historical figures though........

Well, not all of us were born in Cuba or lived under his regime. I'm not going to apologize for having an interest in psychology and sociology and how people reason and justify their actions. It's interesting to me. Sue me.

Oh no please you shouldn't need to apologize, I just wonder if you are that interested in psychology and sociology, why haven't you researched on Castro and Chavez, since you consider them historical figures? you may not want my advise and that's ok, but that may help you know a little bit about them, which I can already see that you don't know much.... I mean, just in case you don't have the pleasure to meet them some day... And the fact that I was born in Cuba and lived through 14 years of Castro's communist regime makes me just a little bit knowledgeable to talk about Castro and his little friend Chavez...and their twisted minds....

Oh no, I DO know about them. It just doesn't make them any less interesting to me. In fact, they're interesting because they are twisted. What's the fun in learning about something that's every-day normal? Think about it. If you were really into psychology, would you rather study someone who is as "normal" as they come, or someone who has odd habits, hang-ups, and strange behaviors?

And the fact is, they are historical figures. Just because we don't like our history, doesn't mean we get to deny that they have had HUGE impacts.

Hey, you have a point there, I'm sure I would want to know about people with strange behavior, but I guess this is so old to me and so clear to me that I feel that I don't really want to learn anything else about them, see, in my opinion, they are evil people, not complicated, complex , odd, or strange, they are both along with some other dictators around the world just pure evil people and finding out why the behave that way seems a waste of time, there is good and evil, they are evil....why some people are evil? because they just are, I would love to deeply know why some people are such great decent human beings also, but it's pretty much common sense, they choose to be that way, we all know right from wrong...when it comes to evilness, I think it works the same way, they are just bad, horrible evil people with evil minds.... they choose to be that way, why their brain chooses evil over good? again, I believe it's their choice, sure, they may have some insecurities or childhood issues, but hey, don't we all, that doesn't mean that we all become evil....so again I have to say, to me, there is not much to learn about their behavior, I actually think they are stupid simple evil people.

Am I rambling on? oh well....sue me!

I agree with you to a point. I agree that these are both evil, evil people. But I'd like to know why they choose certain actions over others, why they behave the way they do, what brought them to the point they are at. I'm curious. That doesn't mean that I condone their behavior.

I'd like to know what their thought methods are, you know? How they think, how they reason, what makes them different from other people.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
